Birthday Parties!

No matter if it is the birthday of a child, a parent, friend, relative or even an Association, a Company or a Community Center, birthdays are part of life’s celebrations.

Why not take a little of the wedding experience and turn that celebration into something very special?

Create a sign-in poster or a matted framed picture where guests can express their wishes while creating memories that can be displayed.

Brides are shying away from traditional wedding cakes and opting for cupcakes and dessert tables.  Try something like this for a birthday party instead of a birthday cake.   Or create a candy counter.  Have small bags and assorted candies, like colorful M&M’s, penny candy or bite sized bars, in pretty containers so the guest can scoop candy into the bags and take them home. This is a great party favor.

Show a video or looped slide show of the guest of honor whether it be a person, building or area, from the birth to present.

Make a “Wishing Tree”. Spray paint a Manzanita branch (you can get them at the nursery) and secure it in a container. Take little note cards and punch holes in the cards and tie a ribbon on them. Display the cards around the Tree with pens and have the guest write down their birthday celebration wishes and then hang them on the tree. Not only does the tree blossom during the party, the wishes are everlasting.
